37 Times When People On Tumblr Pointed Out Historical Facts In The Most Entertaining Ways
You can hear folks claim that kids need the internet to study and learn new things. And that is absolutely true. But most of them were very probably referring to reading scholarly journals and educational articles and the like.
The internet has its own way of approaching education, and that is through things like Today I Learned on Reddit, YouTube channels like VSauce And CGP Grey, and, a personal favorite of mine, Tumblr.
Yep, the microblogging social medium, among many things, hosts some of the best-written narratives and rhetoric of educational nature, whether it’s about birds or dragons or restaurants as mafia fronts.
So, in light of this, we bring you some of the best among the best moments in Tumblr history about world history, historical figures, facts and everything else that has happened on our lovely planet in the last whatever years.

And how Mozart trolled that one singer that he despised working with. I forget her name, but, basically he noticed how she threw her head up on high notes and dropped her chin down on low notes, so he composed a song consisting of alternating lows and highs in rapid succession so it looked like her head was bobbing like a chicken when she sang it. Mozart was awesome.
This is one of many reasons I'm completely obsessed with history 😆
Caligula's real name was Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. Caligula was a childhood nickname meaning "little boots". All hail Emperor Little Boots!
What about Columbus who confused a continent he had never been before, with a continent he had never been before.
I saw a fairly convincing documentary claiming that Caligula wasn't crazy, but believed that, as emperor, he should not have to answer to the Senate. He appointed his horse as consul to show that, for him, his horse was more important than the senators. He also wanted to establish that, as emperor, he was also a God, so he declared war on another god who pissed him off. It was more to show his people that he was a god, not because he believed that stabbing the sea would make any difference with some God. People need to remember that most people believed in gods at that period.
What's even weirder is that Poseidon, amongst many other more obvious things like sea and storms, was also god of horses. So maybe he was mad the horse didn't vote the way he wanted and took it up with his manager?
Caligula? That dude who made a horse in power for an army? I heard he was corrupt.
How about the first Emperor of China who wanted to build a 1:1 map of China? But he was taking mercury pills to make him live longer, so he was barking.
Can't wait for historians to start publishing papers about the Orange People of D.C.
At least Caligula appointed both ends of the horse to public office.
I- I don’t get it. Is it 20.00 or 2000?! Edit: I feel dumb lol I see the part about the decimal now
people believe the austrailians were spared but secretly the all austrailians are emu set on taking the rest of the world the emu revolution is upon us
We need more Tumblr. I love Tumblr, and I'm not leaving it unless something awful happens.
Like I logged on one day, and all of tumblr had made up an entire movie off of a typo and it's still the funniest thing ever, you cannot change my mind
